This lovely quilt is part of a Studio Art Quilt Associates exhibit called "Seasonal Palette," which debuted in Houston at the 2012 International Quilt Festival and will be traveling to Cincinnati, Long Beach and Paducah in 2013. 144 artists submitted 572 images for consideration for the exhibition and 37 artists were chosen to make a piece specifically for the exhibit.

As seen above, Carol Ann chose to represent spring and was inspired by a single purple flower poking out of a field of snow in the Rocky Mountains. All of the artists have documented their creative process, including their inspiration, photo images, sketches and diagrams, journal entries, and fabric swatches. The documentation will be on display along with each quilt.

As Carol Ann's quilt shows, with raw edge cutwork you can reveal amazing patterns and dynamics. If you're interested in making a beautiful bold quilt be sure to check out Stitch & Slash with Carol Ann: it's fast and fun. Once you begin slashing, you won't be able to stop!

This is a beautiful piece. I’ll be picking up a copy of Quilting Arts Magazine as soon as I find it. Also, I was in a class on Navigator of the Seas with Carol was one of the teachers – she is awesome. She had us all free-motion quilting when none of us knew what we were doing. Thanks, Carol!! Really enjoyed you class.
